Iress has posted strong results for the first half of 2025, with its UK division delivering double-digit growth.
Driven by strong demand for its software, Iress in the UK achieved growth across revenue, earnings and margins.
Key financial highlights for the UK business include a 45% increase in earnings growth (adjusted EBITDA) to £4.9m (from £3.3m in H1 2024), and revenue growth up 6% compared to the prior corresponding period.
In addition, Iress’ margin growth grew from 12.5% to 17.3% on the prior corresponding period.
Marcus Price, Iress’ group managing director and CEO, said: “Iress’ continuing business has delivered a strong performance in the first half, underpinned by solid revenue growth in our Global Trading and Market Data business and continuing positive momentum in the UK.
“As we enter the next phase of our growth strategy, Iress is well placed to capitalise on global growth opportunities – leveraging our core capabilities while selectively investing in new trading and wealth technologies.
“We see significant opportunities in emerging cloud and AI technologies to enhance trading experiences and expand Iress’ wealth tech suite to meet the needs of the millions of people around the world who don’t have access to the financial advice they need.”
Alistair Morgan, Iress’ CEO for the UK, added: “I am incredibly proud of what the Iress UK team has achieved.
“Our exceptional results are a direct reflection of our dedication to listening closely to our UK customers, forging deeper strategic partnerships and investing in technology uplifts that empower financial professionals to navigate and lead through industry change.
“These half-year results are another clear signal that we’re heading firmly in the right direction – and we’re not slowing down.”
